RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is a life-changing leadership training program for
young men and women where leadership skills and principles are learned, developed and
enhanced in an atmosphere of trust and respect. The purpose of RYLA is to encourage and
assist current and potential youth leaders in methods of responsible and effective leadership.
Many past RYLArians have said, "It was the best week of my life!"
Registration is now OPEN!

Rotary clubs in districts 5440 and 5450,
throughout Northern Colorado, Wyoming, Eastern Idaho and Western Nebraska
sponsor students to participate in these 5-day leadership conferences
known as Rocky Mountain RYLA.

The two RYLA Conferences for 200 participants each are held at the
YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado.
These conferences are also referred to as Senior RYLA.

Any high school sophomore or junior may apply to attend RYLA.
Generally, applicants selected have
excelled in one or more areas of high school involvement and have potential or proven leadership experience.
Applicants MUST be able to stay for all 5 days of the conference!
